How to Set Up A Customer Card in Microsoft Dynamics Business Central

Setting up a Customer

Customers are the source of your income. You must register each customer you sell to as a customer card. Customer cards hold the information that is required to sell products or services. Before new Customers can be registered, various fields must be set up that are selected from when filling out Customer cards. When all the required master data is created, additional configuration can be performed, such as listing items that the Customer and other Customers can purchase. The Customer card contains five fast tabs General, Address & Contact, Invoicing, Payments, and Receiving.

Be Aware of the following Mandatory Key Fields:

auto generated on incremental basis once you clicked on “New”

Balance Due – Clicking on the amount, will open up a list page
and display all of the open invoices.

Blocked – This option allows you to block the particular
